Treferig Isha

The house originally faced S, the entrance through an exceptionally large 2-and-a-half storeyed porch. Probably when the W unit of the house was destroyed, the porch openings were infilled and a new entrance was made into the W side of the house, to the R of the hall fireplace. The front elevation now consists of the side of the porch, the hall to the L which is slightly set back, and a single storey kitchen wing further L and set back. This also has an entrance. The house is constructed of rubble stone, rendered to the front and rear, under slate roofs. Stone stack to front gable of hall, and stone end stack to kitchen wing. The first floor of the porch unit has a 2-light multi-pane casement under a dripstone. The current front entrance consists of a C20 door under a small open lean-to porch with corrugated roof. Just around the NW angle of the hall is a tiny rectangular stairlight at ground floor level. The front of the kitchen wing has a door to the R and window with timber lintel to the L, both later C20.

A single-storey shed with open W front and corrugated iron roof has been built up against the S face of the porch which is of rubble stone. The doorway is under a Tudor arch of voussoirs. The window above has a similar head whilst the attic storey has a small square window under a dripstone. All these openings are infilled with stone. The rear of the hall has a 3-light multi-pane casement under a triangular head offset to the L. The upper storey has a small 2-light casement to the centre and a single-pane window to its R. The S face of the hall retains a timber 3-light ovolo-moulded mullioned window to the upper storey, the earliest dated example in Glamorgan. Offset below is a casement window with a segmental yellow brick head. To the ground floor of the porch is a partially blocked flat-headed 3-light window with hoodmould. The rear side of the kitchen wing contains a C20 multi-pane window to the centre under a long timber lintel (formerly a door). Small later C20 addition to N end.

The kitchen unit has a joist-beam ceiling, the 5 small chamfered beams with broach stops. To the L is a fireplace with timber lintel. The hall is entered from the kitchen unit and has 3 deeply chamfered cross beams with broach stops and square joists. The fireplace is infilled under a mantlepiece. To its R is a doorway, now leading into a cupboard, with a highly ornate timber head. Immediately to its R is a 2nd timber doorway leading to cross-corner stone stairs. It has a chamfered Tudor-arched head. In the SW corner of the room is a planked L-shaped screen, forming a lobby behind the W entrance. A doorway also leads S into the former porch from the lobby (not seen). The ceiling of the porch is said to have ogee-ovolo moulded beams with curved stops.
